strangely i have this issue in bambu slicer and orca, but not nearly as often in orca slicer. I also wonder if it's something to do with the e-cores / p-cores on these cpus. I have z790 and 14900k cpu.

[Zechs2205]

@silence48 what ram do you have? I have had issues with both bambu and orca. I also have the 13900K(similar) and z790.

TLDR;

It could be memory related, it could be related to threading and sometimes there's issues where stuff needs to be numa aware to properly utilize e-cores, but i'm thinking that's unrelated due to the fact i parked the e-cores and it still crashed.
The crashes happen at different times and seemingly different reasons (though i don't have examples of other reasons besides the logs i provided)
I am going to try to build the master branch on my local system instead of using the release.
~I'm going to try running a system file scan and reinstalling the dll that the error comes from. ~ The file isn't corrupt.
I'll report back if i make any progress.
The same issue occurs in bambu slicer too, in fact in bambu it happens sooner.

Good news at least for me, enabling compatibility mode partially solved my problem, and i'm now able to slice most files. (though I still did see 2 crashes)

[Zechs2205]

I upgraded my PC to DDR5 6800 and a new Motherboard. Still same issue. Same issue even after disabling e cores.

@silence48 You're solution has solved it on my end. I wonder what the issue stems from.

[chuckie1992]

@silence48 You are right, atleast on my end all crashes has stopped soon as i change affinity in my task manager to only the P cores( 0-7 for 8 P core cpu). I don't think parking cores solves this. Parked cores can still be activated when needed, you either need to fully disable them or only set affinity to cores 0-7. I have not tried compatibility mode.

@Zechs2205 i don't now why that wouldn't work for you, i have exactly same setup except for ram i run slightly slower and Gskills. Doing the above helped me getting reliable slices off. I really feel like this is an E core issue since i've had this issue with every slicer i've tried so far and they all crash soon as i hit slice button. Doing the above solved for all of the slicers i tried(Cura, Creality Print and OrcaSlicer)

[Zechs2205]

I figured it out. It's not E core its Hyperthreading. I used project lasso to test different hypothesis. I found that hyperthreading is casing problems with many different applications. I don't know why still but it seems to be a problem on the LGA1700 bc my previous I9 10th didnt have any of those issues.
